RE: Radio over Ethernet draft PAR for the IEEE 1904 pre-review & discussion
Marek,
Maybe we could open 1) a bit more saying that the encapsulation format should allow for splitting the transport into separate flows/channels per payload type, if seen beneficial? That is something we did discuss while working on the PAR but that does not read there too well now.
